Episode 300 - Vaccines Do Not Cause Autism

Can you believe we made it all the way to episode 300? Well, we decided to cap off the event by revisiting a topic that was in the headlines way back when the three of us started in the field of behavior analysis…and sadly is STILL a topic of discussion: Vaccines and autism. And while the findings are in the title (they don't), we review the research as to why there is still any discussion on the matter and reflect on whether approaching the anti-vaccine debate from a purely scientific findings lens might be playing into an ableist narrative that paradoxically feeds the misinformation discourse.

Thanks to everyone for supporting our show for all these years (and special thanks to everyone who joined us at our live recording!).

This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU.
